Best Dreamland Poems

To Dreamland on Sunset's Lullaby

Gracefully the young crescent moon
ascends the sky like a cosmic tune;
replacing the drowsy pale yellow sun
sinking on a golden glowing horizon.

To dreamland on a lullaby of silvery twilight...
to dreamland floating with music of night.

Even as shadows of day seek rest,
choirs of...

I know you are there
On the other side
Waiting anxiously for me
There at Dreamland’s Gate
So I close my eyes tight
To hurry myself to you
Hoping sleep comes quickly
To carry me to your arms
Which are reaching through the portals…
Ready, anxious, longing
To envelope me
And whisk me away
To places that...

When my child hastens to her pillow,
To close her eyes and dream;
She drifts away with stars to play,
Where magic paints the scene.

Mermaids with their tresses wild,
Dance beneath the sea;
And dolphins sing their vesper hymn,
Among the coral tree.

Faeries dance in filmy gowns,
In woodlands dark and deep;
With...

The thought of life supreme
in a land of my dreams
in a place where beauty dwells
among the flowing water streams
 
Switzerland would be that dream
among the mountains so majestic
there the Alps are the tops
this indeed is simply fantastic
 
Watching the cows ring their bells
walking in the...

Gently rocking you fast asleep
No sudden moves or you would leap
Watching your tiny face aglow
Eyes getting heavy to sleep you go
Back and forth i rock in the chair
Hold you close, in your face i stare
So precious you are and loved by me
When you awake, right...

A place in the middle of nowhere, I wish to be in, where I could still
Breathe the blissful pure fresh air of the bucolic, where I
Could hear the hum of silence harmonious to my mind’s rhythm, where
Dew drops of serenity sparkle in a peasant’s land...

in dreamland
levitating mirthfully
no rules no restraints

And dusk invites 
more bouncing glee,
as ribbons knot 
Queen Fey’s gold  stick
like wiggles coil
on toes, how free
to laugh around 
while clouds frolic.
when kiddies shout,
"let's pirouette",
while hours sway 
in minuet!

How I enjoy being wrapped up real tight
Warmly curled up in a ball,
Visiting Dreamland so deep in the night,
Having no care at all!

Then comes the sun, and it’s time to rise,
Get up and greet the day.
But how I love to again close my eyes –
Dreamland’s...

Pestered 
and 
pursued
by 
unknown 
foes
A 
topsy 
turvy 
land
where 
snakes 
could 
have 
horns
and 
cows 
can 
have 
fangs!
Nightmares 
in 
which 
the 
day's 
stallions
make 
mountains 
out 
of 
molehills.

A 
chance 
to 
witness
greek 
mythology 
like 
creatures 
for 
real
since 
dreamland's 
a 
place 
for
the 
unreal, 
the 
surreal.

There 
are 
hair-
raising 
scary 
dreams
Beset

Have any of you experienced one of those days
When you just want to stare at the sky on your chaise
Let the world pass you by
Sing a sweet lullaby
Till you're off to dreamland in the afternoon haze

I'm in my dreamland
I wish I don't wake

It's here you look at me
It's here your smile I see
It's here I get your hug
It's here I'm not a bug

Blissful romantic tune
Lost in lust, high in the moon
Love life like Mills and Boon
I'm so not waking up...

wrapped in mom’s warm arms

we match her rhythmic breathing. . . .

The world wafts away

Relishing a dream of voyage;
though the sky lit by the glory of rays,
my eyes squinted at the ray
fluttering my lashes says,
not now,don't wake me now.

Impeccable sunlight splattering
on to the window
making a tiny purslane buds to grow.
In a fantasy,I say,
not now,don't wake me now.

Beads of morning...
